Come back to this regularly - this song is just pure carnage, brilliant. As a teenage drummer growing up with the album just made me think, nope - I can never do that.
I don't think this is Ritchie here, or is it? I know he didn't play on this album in studio, but I guess he might've been with the band by the time they played this version live
A bit late to this on YT, but it's one of my favorite tracks. Especially, around 11:30 and onwards. Ritchie's playing is pure jazz. Along with Paicey and Roger.
You're damned right! Back then, no one could touch them. Purple was the only hard-progressive band that knew how to let loose and improvise like a jazz band. And, to be honest, no one has been able to do that since. I mean... later, hard rock evolved into the theatrical act that we now know as metal... Early Purple, on the other had... Pure, fuckin' , unadulterated... MAGIC!
The heavy rock song they strecht out as long they could, classic lords distorted organ and blackmores arabic scale metal playing... compined vs paiceys and glovers tight rythm section, bongo playing falsetto screaming gillan... an ultimate masterpiece... nobody beat mk2 by their improvisation and experimental work... they werea great in the 70s.
After that awesome little lick at 8-57 Richie's strat cunjures some monstrous,vaguely demonically charged beast emerging from the firmament,unleashed spitting flame.They surely must have partook of said herbal-remedy to channel this level of sonic wizardry ? Breathtaking.
Never did a guitar sound so tortured and beautiful. It was like Blackmore wan’t to kill it.
5 outstanding musicians come together
The audience at this gig are amongst the most fortunate and privileged as can be imagined.The memories they must carry ?...sigh.
Only the best live band can play like this! These are Deep Purple!
Absolutely awesome gig, band and song!
i love this version
This is a MASTERPIECE ! I've got this version since 1981 in a cassette
Now, that is the best version ever, shame there is no video..
Try this. th-cam.com/video/3c1v7WhKJoA/w-d-xo.html
This song is all over the place musically so dam intense.
Ian Gillan at his PEAK!!!! At this time he was the best rock singer ... very distant from everyone else
Man they are so good live
My! Bloody! Favourite!
Right here!

Fantastic piece of Purple music. Remembering buying this album when it came out. 10+
Nobody can do paice except paice. Period
Magic
So intense.
Jon on that Hammond, just wow..
Rock And Roll de Primeira Qualidade !! É Púrpura Profunda!!!
1 minutes 51 seconds!! Ian!! Sounds like you ate the Mandrake then went on stage!! Gave him the Superman vocalization extraordinary skills. Damn!!!
At this point- no better live band
¡¡¡¡Purple is always the final colour of my mind!!!!
***and from my nights hehe
just listen to that vibrato bar @14:37 lol...
Phenomenal. Nice work Jon. Ritchie a beast!!!!

@@joshward7009 you better believe it's ritchie! He's one of the founding members from day one. He left in 1975 to form rainbow 🌈
@@koaguilds oh huh. Always thought he came on around the same time Gillian did
@@joshward7009 he sounded different on the first few albums because he was largely using a Gibson es335
@@joshward7009 Yes this is Mk 2

Yes, the transition jam between roughly 9 and 12 minutes is a standout example of what made Purple so unique at the time. And so atmospheric!
Musical mastery they are on another planet.
This is pure rock!
Period
and I mean NO-ONE was playing like this live.

@@Innerspace100 and what do you think about soft machine, sweet smoke or some deaf alpha???
@@jorgellancafil5958 Softr Machine isn't hard rock, mate. They're pure jazz. But, they're allright. Sweet Smoke? Deaf Alpha? Never heard of those...
None of what?
@@michaelwoods9005 Playing as good as that live. Purple were the best

They were on one for sure.
@8:20. You're welcome.
Not into keys I take it? LOL
סגול כהה הלהקה שאני אוהב ההופעות התקליטים
How about that no namer Ian Paice? He gets overlooked....
He might be the best one in the band, is so overlooked!
5o años escuchan do estos monstruos
Blackmore looks just like Coverdale in two of the pictures above. Which has little to do with the music, which is spectacular. 🌎
